it was over five years ago and haven't given it much thought since. I don't expect anyone to put much effort into this thread but to see the carnage. If i want real information i'll provide more details and ask for more help. In the meantime i have another supra that is going into rebuild...

at the time, i believe it was.

At that point everything was stock except for an AVCR and an HKS fcon

thanks Ij. I was under the impression that detonation would begin to burrow a hole in the top of the piston. But i guess it's such a violent action that it could damage any part of the piston.

I know it's been forever and a day since I've made a post or new thread. I recently had a little time to investigate my first rebuilt engine after it lost compression on cylinders 1 & 3. There was approximately 3K miles on it. Here are the culprits: any ideas why the ring landings would've...

Supra469: i tried to IM you but your box is full. I am cutting the suede tonight and will be hand stitching it.

Here is an update: Just finished the second coat of resin to smooth the surface out. just need to wait for it to cure so i can sand the divits out and then spray it with clear. Then it's on to wrapping the rest of the wheel with suede. Now it has been clearcoated and needing a buff...

It's been a long time since i've posted any progress of my cars but i got a stroke of inspiration last night. This is a work in progress. Soon i'll be adding black suede to the rest of the wheel. What's next is to sand it down a bit and add another layer of resin...then sand...then spray with...

Your problem sounds a lot like mine. Any solution so far?

instead of cluttering this thread, i'll start one of my own. Pardon the continuous hijacking.

i'd love to if it didn't stall when i depress the accellerator. I calibrated the TPS already, just checked all my hoses.

Thank you, JDub. All looks right but still runs like crap. I will keep looking it over and see if i missed a vac. hose somewhere. So much to remember on this car.

I also hate to hijack this thread but when i look through the oil filler port the nose of the cam lobe is behind the shelf, unlike the drawing in the TSRM. Any ideas?

there was a time when supras were raced in off-road rallies. Maybe he's livin' the dream! Who're we to judge? :D

finally put my 1/5 scale back together.

Why do people insist on adding non-functional vents? It's only screwing with the aerodynamics of the car. If they want a car with mid/rear mounted engine buy one and go hogwild with vents.

suprra_girl: I have a groovy design for a widebody MKIII that i'd like to make. It's gonna be sweet if i ever get around to it.

Here's my 1/10 scale onroad racer. in the background you can see my B4 buggy. These are a couple i brought in to work with me as desk ornaments. I'll get pics of the 1/5 scale when i put it back together.

I've been on the look out for an MK3 shell for a long time. I have the same body as yours (JGTC MK4 supra)for my 1/10 scale drifter. i have several R/C cars including a huge 6hp gas powered 1/5 scale car. If you want to see pics of it lemme know. I didn't wanna hijack your thread without...

In case you haven't tried this why not take the pipes to an exhaust shop and have them press a bead into all of your pipes?
